It was also found that among the challenges of supervision is to socialize the Internship Policy of Social Work Course UFAM, Law Stage and the National Stage Policy - NEP of the Brazilian Association of Education and Research in Social Work - ABEPSS in the process stage to the materialization of the parameters and guidelines proposed in these documents. That challenge focuses on the clarity of the roles that education supervisor, field and the trainee exercise and are regulated in the documents.
